Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 1/2 stick salted butter (3/4 cup)
1/2 c powdered sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon (use best quality you can find)
1 Tbsp brandy (used a moderately priced brand, christian brothers)
1 Tbsp dekuyper buttershots

Steps:

1. Melt butter in sauce pan over low heat.
2. Add powder sugar, cinnamon, brandy and buttershots.
3. Increase heat to medium low.
4. Allow the mixture to gently boil for a minute or two.
5. Serve warm.
6. NOTE: This mixture will have a more caramel tone to it instead of the buttery color of that served in Don Pablo's. I'm guessing it's due to the cinnamon. I'm going to try it with a cinnamon liqueur and see if that makes a difference. Will post changes when I do. (recipe courtesy of copycat recipes at recipelink)

Tips:

Use unsalted butter for the brandy butter sauce to control the amount of salt in the recipe.
Make sure the butter is at room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help the mixture become light and fluffy.
Add the brandy and orange juice gradually, mixing well after each addition.
If the sauce is too thick, add a little more brandy or orange juice.
If the sauce is too thin, place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes to thicken.
Serve the brandy butter sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Brandy butter sauce can be used to top pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream.
It can also be used as a spread for bread or crackers.

Conclusion:

Brandy butter sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of ways. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Its combination of flavors makes it a perfect complement to many dishes, from pancakes to ice cream.
